Sharlene: Yes,
of course I'll be here. But, Iris, I'm sure that you and Evan have a lot of
things to do. You're very busy, and it's really not -- that's very kind of you.
All right, then I'll see you in a little while.

Courtney: All
right, underneath that start putting down the names out of this ledger. And
write small. There's a lot of them.

Rick: I'll do
this. I'm going to start with Felicia.

Courtney: You
know, it is incredible how many people are involved in this. Now, all these
numbers and notations -- I mean, none of it makes sense.

Rick: Yeah, I
know, but we're just going to have to put all the pieces together. Now, one of
the first people I want to talk to, Vicky Hudson.

Vicky: Jason's
dead, Jake.

Jake: You had a
fight with him the night he died.

Vicky: No.

Jake: Vicky,
don't lie to me.

Vicky: What
does it matter?

Jake: People
are going to be asking a lot of questions. They're going to be asking you a lot
of questions, Vicky.

Vicky: Why me?

Jake: Don't be
stupid! You're suing him!

Vicky: So what?

Jake: What if
the police find out that, Vicky, that he had something on you? Huh? And he
wasn't going to pay you? Then you decide --

Vicky: He
didn't have anything on me.

Jake: Oh, yeah?
Then why was he snooping around, Vicky? Why was he asking all the questions
about you and me?

Vicky: Well,
what does it matter what he did? He's dead.

Jake: Are you
listening to me? The police are going to be digging around. They're going to be
asking a lot of questions. What do you think they're going to do when they find
out that you had a fight with Jason the night he died?

Vicky: Felicia
shot him.

Jake: What was
it about, Vicky? Damn you! Tell me!

Vicky: All
right! Jason knew about the night that you and I were together, and he told me
that if I didn't drop the lawsuit, he would tell Jamie the baby isn't his.

Jake: Oh, man.

Vicky: Now,
what if the police find that out, Jake? What are we going to do?

Jake: We'll
just deal with it, that's all.

Vicky: Yes, we
will deal with it like nothing unusual is going on.

Jake: Oh,
Vicky, that's easy for you to say!

Vicky: It is --

Jake: Thank
you.

Vicky: It is
Jamieís baby. Who cared what Jason thought?

Jake: You're
absolutely positive, Vick?

Vicky: Yes.

Jake: Vicky --

Vicky: Yes!

Jake: That
still doesn't change the fact that we slept together.

Vicky: Well,
I'm not saying that it does.

Jake: Vicky, if
Marley found out about this, it would kill her.

Vicky: Nobody
will find out about it. Nobody.

Cass: I think
that's our table over there.

Nicole: Well, I
don't know about anybody else, but I am starving.

Mitch: Felicia?

Felicia: I
canít.

Mitch: Yes, you
can.

Felicia: No,
everyone is staring at me.

Nicole:
Felicia, they'll stop if you ignore them.

Mitch: She's
right. Come on.

Cass: Honey,
don't you dare let them intimidate you. You're innocent.

Felicia: All
right, let's go.

Cass: Want to
sit here?

Hostess: Oh! I
saw you come in, and I said, "I know her."

Nicole: Well,
we come here a lot.

Hostess: Oh,
you're that writer, aren't you?

Felicia: Yes, I
am.

Cass: Would you
like to tell us about the specials you have today?

Hostess: The
one who shot that Frame guy!

Mitch: Maybe if
you would just leave a menu.

Hostess: Oh.
Look, honey, I'm with you. I mean, there are plenty of guys I'd love to blast! I
mean --

Nicole: Ada's
going to hear about this.

Felicia: No,
no, it's all right. She didn't mean it.

Nicole: No, I
just can't believe how insensitive people can be.

Felicia: Well,
I -- I guess I'm going to have to get used to it. I have to get used to the fact
that if I am cleared and the police do decide that this was an accident --

Cass: They
will.

Felicia: I'm
going to be continually stared at. I am the lady who pulled the trigger, Cass.

Mitch: This
will pass and they'll find some other scandal.

Felicia: This
is a scandal, isn't it?

Mitch: No, I
didn't mean --

Felicia: No.
Honey, it is, all right? First, Noah, now this, and I don't seem to be able to
escape it, do I, no matter what I do. Let's just order, all right?

Cass: Well,
first thing we're going to do is track down Noah and this guy with the scar.

Mitch: And
we'll find them.

Felicia: All
right, if you do that, you know that things are never going to be the same
again. You know that.

Nicole: Don't
say that.

Felicia: No
matter what happens, my 40th birthday party is going to be with me for the rest
of my life, just like Noahís party. You know, it really is the same thing all
over again. I don't know how Welchís does it.

Iris: Three
cups, Vivien? Are we expecting someone else?

Vivien: Uh-uh.
I'm already here.

Iris: I beg
your pardon?

Vivien: Just
take it. See, I'm trying to combine my tea drinking with my dusting so that I
don't have to waste any time taking a break.

Donna: You're
so amusing.

Iris: Yes, she
is, isn't she?

Donna: Oh,
dear. Now, I don't normally drop in unannounced, so you're a dear not to throw
me out.

Iris: I am very
happy to see you, Donna.

Donna: Hmm.
Well, you know, Michaelís away.

Iris: Oh? Where
is he?

Donna: All
over, business. Oh.

Iris: Would you
like cream or sugar?

Donna: Uh-uh.
No, no, thank you. Iris, it must have been ghastly for you.

Iris: What?

Donna: All the
negative publicity you've received from the party you threw for Felicia. It
certainly isn't what you expected.

Iris: My dear,
there is no such thing as bad publicity.

Donna: It's a
shame about Jason, isn't it?

Iris: Oh, yes,
yes.

Donna: Do you
know any more than what the newspapers are saying?

Iris: Well, why
would I?

Donna: Well, it
was your party.

Iris: Donna, I
don't know any more than you do.

Donna: Oh.
Well, I think he was a terrible troublemaker. I didn't much care for him.

Iris: No. Well,
I went to see the Frames. I offered them my condolences -- Josie and Sharlene.

Donna: Oh, poor
Josie. I hate it when children get hurt. If someone threatens one of mine, I'm a
tiger.

Iris: Yes, I'm
sure you are.

Donna: We spoil
them. Michael and I are dreadful that way.

Iris: Well, you
missed so much of their growing up. At least Michael did. Of course, he'd spoil
them.

Donna: Yes. He
has an incredibly big heart.

Iris: Yes.

Donna: Now,
Michael -- Michael couldn't tolerate Jason. You never did get to know him, did
you? Jason, I mean?

Iris: Oh. No,
no, no, only through working at the spa.

Donna: Mm-hmm.

Iris: Did you
know him?

Donna: No. No.
Of course not. I mean, he did work with John, so I saw him occasionally, but
that's -- that's all.

Matt: Why don't
we sit over there? Come on. I'm starving. You know, my grandmother -- she's at
this class today, but I do have some clout in the kitchen in case you want
something special or different.

Josie: How
could she show her face in public?

Matt: What?

Felicia: You
know, Josie and Jason were very close. I know how awful this must be for her.
She's so young to go through this kind of pain.

Mitch: She's no
younger than you were.

Felicia: And I
remember how it felt. I'm going to go talk to her.

Mitch: No, wait
a minute. Maybe just wait a little while.

Felicia: No,
honey, I want to talk to her. Ok.

Josie: She's
coming over here.

Matt: It's ok,
it's ok. Now, just relax. Felicia.

Felicia: Hi,
honey. Josie, I really don't know what to say to you. I -- I just wanted you to
know that it was an accident. I was being threatened by someone. I would never
do anything to hurt Jason or anyone else. I know how close you were --

Josie: He was
like a father to me, the only one I ever had.

Mitch: What's
going to happen to her?

Cass: Nothing.
We're going to clear her. I don't want you even considering any other
possibility.

Mitch: We've
got to find Noah.

Cass: I talked
to the people that he was involved with. They have no record of Noah Grady being
assigned to a post.

Mitch: Well, is
it somehow possible --

Cass: Mitch,
come on. No, it's not possible. You talked to the landlady when I was there. She
said nothing that indicated that he was dead.

Mitch: We
didn't misunderstand her.

Cass: That's
what I'm going to find out. I have to go to Boston tonight.

Nicole: I can
go with you.

Cass: Ok.

Mitch: No, the
cops have a card, a card that Felicia sent Noah. Is it possible that some way
that Jason got the card and has something on her?

Cass: He
didnít. He doesnít. And that's what we're going to prove.

Matt: Yes,
maybe I'll go say hi to dad.

Felicia: Ok.
Josie, I know how it feels to lose someone that you love. The pain is so great,
and -- and I'm not sure that you ever really get over it, not completely. I -- I
know this probably doesn't mean anything to you right now, but I never planned
for any of this to happen, to you or to your mother. I really am so sorry,
honey.

Josie: I'm
sorry, too.

Sharlene: Evan,
it was nice of you to come by. Thank you.

Evan: Well, I
got to know Jason through dealings, you know, on the spa contract. We had our
problems. I liked him. You did, too, didn't you, John?

John: Yeah. I
thought that Jason was really good with his family.

Evan: So, the
police find anything?

Sharlene: Well,
they've been asking a lot of questions. They took his ledger.

Evan: He kept a
ledger?

Sharlene: Yeah,
yeah. It makes sense, if you knew Jason.

Evan: Well,
that's funny. Do you know what was in the ledger?

Sharlene: No,
and I don't care. I don't see what good it would do anybody now.

John: I don't
know why the police are pushing so hard on this issue.

Sharlene: You
don't?

John: No. Well,
it's not going to bring Jason back. It can only end up airing dirty laundry
which might end up hurting you and Josie.

Donna: You
know, Iris, I was just wondering -- I mean, Jasonís life was so complicated. For
instance, if you had evidence that would incriminate someone, would you come
forward?

Iris: Well, I
don't know anything.

Donna: But if
you did?

Iris: I don't
know. I guess it would depend.

Donna: Depend
on what?

Iris: On
circumstances. Oh, yes, I probably would. Why do you ask?

Donna: Oh, I'm
just intrigued by these things, that's all. Oh, look at the time.

Iris: Are you
leaving already?

Donna: Yes, I
have to get over to Victoria's. I'm making dinner for her and Jamie tonight. Did
I tell you?

Iris: No.

Donna: Yes.
They're away for the day, and I'm going to sneak in and make a lovely romantic
dinner with candles and wine and flowers. It's going to be my little surprise.

Iris: Oh, what
fun.

Donna: Yes. Oh,
Vivien --

Vivien: Yes,
ma'am.

Donna: Roast
beef. Do you cook it for six or seven hours?

Vivien: It
depends upon at what temperature you cook it.

Donna: 500
degrees?

Vivien: Seven
hours if you want it well done.

Donna: That's
what I thought. Thank you. Thank you for the tea.

Iris: Well,
thank you for the visit.

Donna: Next
time you'll have to come down to my level.

Iris: Hmm. I'll
try.

Donna: Bye.

Iris: Seven
hours at 500 degrees?

Vivien: Beef
jerky by candlelight. What could be more romantic?

Courtney: Let's
go with the Vicky-Felicia connection.

Rick: If there
is any.

Courtney: Well,
let's assume there is. What I was thinking was if Jason was blackmailing Felicia
so he could pay Vicky back without a legal battle.

Rick: Kind of
complicated.

Courtney: Well,
it's no more complicated than everything else we've been kicking around.

Rick: I don't
know. It's a simple -- I have a hunch we're missing something very simple.

Courtney: I'm
missing, all right.

Rick: I want to
know what "baby Frame" means. Hey, do you think that maybe Jason felt that
because of his nephew's baby that entitled him to Vickyís money?

Courtney:
That's hardly simple, but it is possible. Here's your sandwich. I'm going to
call down for a car. I think we need to pay a visit to Victoria Hudson.

Jake: Come on,
let's get out of here.

Mitch: I'm glad
to see you with Josie.

Matt: Me, too.

Mitch:
Everything ok?

Matt: Yeah, I
-- I told her that I love her.

Mitch: What
about Lisa?

Matt: So how
did you find out?

Mitch: You said
that you were seeing somebody else, and I just happened to put two and two
together.

Matt: Well,
that's over. I mean, I -- I still care about her -- well, you know.

Mitch: Yeah, I
do know.

Matt: I hope
she's happy in London.

Mitch: She will
be. Don't worry.

Matt: You know,
I'll always care about her, dad.

Cass: Then what
did she say?

Felicia: Not
much. She just got up and went to the ladies' room.

Nicole: Well, I
think it was good of you to go to her.

Felicia: I had
to. Jason loved her, and she loved him. Well, I never expected to kick off my
second 40 years quite like this.

Cass: Look at
me. Felicia, look at me. Do you trust this man?

Felicia: Not
really.

Cass: Yes, you
do, with your life, and it's a good thing, too, because I have this used car in
primo condition that I'm going to give you for a great price.

Felicia: Stop
it.

Cass: Listen to
me. I'm going to get the answers. Nicole and I are going to Boston in a few
hours. We're going to dig up everything that we can about Noah.

Felicia: Noah
is dead.

Cass: I'm not
so sure.

Felicia: He
died a long time ago.

Cass: We're
going to nail this thing down. We're going to get the truth. I swear it,
Felicia, we're going to win, and things will be the way they were before. I
promise you.

Evan's voice: I
saw you two really going at it the night he died.

John's voice:
It was nothing.

Evan's voice:
Well, it didn't look like nothing to me.

John: Sharlene,
it's time to go.

Sharlene: I
want to talk to you first.

John: About
what?

Sharlene:
Jason. I want to know everything that happened the day he died. Everything.

John: Sharlene,
Jason loved you very much. That's all you need to know. That's -- that's all you
should be worried about right now.

Iris: Well,
there's a new gourmet market on Spring Street. Check it out.

Vivien: Well,
what do we need?

Iris:
Everything -- salmon, pate, caviar, white truffles.

Vivien: Oh, the
staples.

Iris: Exactly.

Vivien: Ok.
Bye.

Iris: Bye. Did
you find out anything?

Evan: Yes.

Iris: Well,
what?

Evan: We've got
trouble, Iris. I want you to go pack your bags right now. We're going to leave
this lousy town tonight.

John: I wish
there was something I could do.

Sharlene: There
is. You could tell me.

Josie: It means
so much to have you here, Matt.

Matt: I'll do
anything for you, Josie.

Josie: Hi,
mama.

Sharlene: We
better go.

Sharlene: That
fight I had with Jason the night he died -- I told him I was ashamed that he was
my brother.

Josie: Oh,
mama.

John: Sharlene,
he knew that wasn't true.

Sharlene: How
do you know that?

John: I just
know.

Sharlene: I
know you were angry with him that night. But he took Josie and me when we didn't
have anywhere else to turn. He was determined that we should have a better life,
better than we ever had. He was at his best with you.

Josie: I loved
him.

John: And he
loved you, too, both of you, in his own way. I guess we should try to remember
that.

Sharlene: Yeah.

Evan's voice:
Poor old Jason. Looks like he had nothing but enemies. Even the guy who was
supposed to be his partner.

Sharlene: Come.
Josie, Matt, let's go.

Iris: Don't be
ridiculous. We're not going anywhere.

Evan: Jason
kept a record.

Iris: What?

Evan: A ledger.

Iris: Well, our
names can't be on it. Well, I mean, they can't, can they?

Evan: Why not?

Iris: Well, ok,
then, we find the ledger.

Evan: The
police have it.

Iris: Police?

Evan: You know,
Bay Cityís finest.

Iris: Oh, it's
just like Jason to do something like that. If we're mentioned on it --

Evan: It's
going to be all over for us. Do you understand that?

Iris:
Everything is finished. Then they'll find out that I'm the chief.

Evan: And
they're going to find out that I'm Janice Frame's son and I'm never, ever going
to get my shot at Rachel!
